Germany Ready To Send Troops And Tanks To Russian Border

Germany is preparing
to send the state-of-the-art weaponry and troops towards Russia as the country
stands up to Vladimir Putin in a military standoff. The Defence
Minister, Ursula con der Leyen’s decision to deploy "heavy weaponry"
to Lithuania next to Russia doorstep was confirmed during a crucial meeting in
Brussels.

According to Newspaper Der Tagesspiegel the
"combat-ready" army will have tanks, armoured vehicles, snipers and
military medics, as well as police. The Defence Minister told the German daily:

“It should send a clear signal that an attack on any NATO member state would be
regarded as an attack on all 28 members [of the EU]." She stated further
that the huge military show of force was only as a "defensive"
measure.

So far, Germany has promised at least 1,000 soldiers (600
going directly to Lithuania) and the rest spread around the continent. This
follows the decision of UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon confirming his approval
and deployment of tanks, drones and 800 troops to Estonia also on the
Russian border in Spring.

In recent weeks, Russia has staged military exercises,
including practising a nuclear drill involving 40 million people.
